The municipality of Hvidovre is the supervising authority. This means that the municipality must approve the residence’s budget every year before the beginning of the fiscal year, and any increase in the rent. The residence’s ended fiscal year must also be approved by the municipality. The residents, and also the resident council, must have a presentation of the budget for the upcoming fiscal year and the ended fiscal year on an ordinary resident meeting. The meetings are held minimum one time every year. The residence’s accounts must also be approved by the municipality. The municipality of Hvidovre must in addition to this inspect that the legal conditions are in order.

  • Two people appointed by the municipality of Hvidovre.
